     A               E/G#          F#m
It's hard to let the miles pass me by
E  A   Bm                 A            E
Yellow lines that blend together in my eyes 
    Bm               A                 E  A   D
And when the seasons change again then I will too 
Bm             A  E         A  --> intro
I just want to be closer to you 

    A               E/G#          F#m
I'm staring out at endless rows of green
E     A   Bm                A            E 
There are miles of hay like I have never seen 
     Bm                    A                   E      A   D
Just when you think you've had enough and your dreams come true 
Bm             A  E         A
I just want to be closer to you 

Bm      A               D                         A
My mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from 
Bm      A             D
I tried not to let you down 
Bm    A         D                         A
Now I wonder if I've been doin' something wrong 
Bm             A                D  A  Bm  E  A  -->  intro
Help me get my feet back on the ground 

Tomorrow I'll be lying under you 
With a heart of gold and arms to fall into 
I know that there might come a day 
where my life is through 
But I just want to be closer to you 

My mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from 
I tried not to let you down 
Now I wonder if I've been doin' something wrong 
Help me get my feet back on the ground 

Someday we might learn to tell the truth 
We might even find the fountains of our youth 
We all needed something real we all need proof 
I just want to be closer to you 
I only want to be closer to you
